Hi Ellen and Gary, so sorry for your loss. She was a special Lady!! Thankfully we were in to see her last summer.
Always remember her having treats for us kids and for our Girls when we visited as a family.
Mom and your Mom always had great visits and laughs together.
May God be with you at this time.
Richard and Mary Brittain
